When you hear people say "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas," that saying does not have to apply to all of your money. One can be frugal and still have fun in Sin City. Below are a few suggestions.

Hotel Perks

Book your hotels with the best perks. Not only do you want to book your rooms during the off peak times when you can achieve the best rates but you can you should also look at the particular benefits in each hotel. Some of the main features include a player's card that is issued by the hotel and allows you to gamble in the hotel's casino. While you may add money to the player's card, the hotel will give you a head start by offering you initial credit on the card, say $100 dollars to get you started. The cards also use the point system which will allow you to keep your winnings on your card and then use your card for other expenses in the hotel such as dinning or shopping.

You should also look at hotels that offer the best and some times even free buffet. Look for "All you can eat" and buffet's that are open 24 hours. These are some of the best reasons one can enjoy Vegas. Look and compare dinning specials as you make your final hotel selection. Ask a hotel that you really like to honor certain dining services you like at other hotels.

Tours and Transportation

Yes you can take a cab any where you wish to travel to in Vegas but why would you. Why don't you try some of the many unique bus tours that Vegas offers for the entire family. London is not the only city that has double decker buses. Some buses such as the Deuce runs 24 hours a day seven days a week and allows you to save more of your money while you enjoy the sites.

To maintain your security and peace of mind you can also share the cost of a limo service or a private car service. One of the best services which ride themselves on your security and peace of mind whether you are gambling or just seeing the shows is "Omni Limousine" Omni is professional as well as affordable. Always be mindful that a private town car may not be as pricey if you split the cost with two or three people. You may be surprised how much money you can save over a traditional cab fare.

Entertainment

Be flexible with your entertainment choices. Look for combination dinner and show packages. You will be surprised at the money you will save and you will be feed and entertained at the same time. Always ask if there are any deals or special promotions. You can not receive if you don't ask. Links such as VEGAS.com’s Deals page will help you stay on top of deals for the taking. Look for afternoon and matinee shows. This will enable you to get in to a show at a cheaper price and you still have plenty of time for a meal and another show afterwards.

Don't forget that Vegas is full of free features if you take the time to just walk the strip and enjoy the sites. There are many free sidewalk shows and duck in and see an act at a bar while you grab a drink.
